The battery project at WDGPH has started construction:

• Neoen has provided notices to proceed to Tesla and UGL, signalling the start of construction for the 200 MW / 400 MWh Western Downs Battery, its fourth big battery in Australia.
• Located next to the 460 MWp solar farm, the battery will deliver a range of essential services to the grid.
• With support from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency’s (ARENA) Large Scale Battery Storage Funding Round, the asset will be equipped with grid-forming inverter technology.
• Early construction works are underway, with the asset expected to start operating in the Australian summer of 2024/25. 
• Full media release available here.
